First step of getting out of the hole is to stop digging. Moving to all hydro and nuclear for base load is a necessary intermediate step to a complete solution.
Pumping carbon is even more dangerous. We know inevitable outcome of "do nothing" scenario (catastrophic climate change and/or running out of fossil fuels), we don't know that nuclear disasters are given.
Ironically, environmentalists and their 'spooky nuclear' protests is why we are still so reliant on fossil fuels and still pumping carbon into atmosphere. Nuclear technology, especially breeder reactors that produce minimal waste, is how you eliminate emissions. Wind and solar are unsuitable for base load due to variability, and require often non-renewable backups.
Yes, you are correct, OBD II will show RPM through the port. The OBD port itself is the size of a DB-25 connector, so neatly wiring it could be tricky.
As far as modifying functionality of anything, like implementing one-touch windows, will not be possible through OBD. The port is diagnostic in nature.
OBD II is diagnostic tool/protocol/format. It will let you read error codes, it will show some information about operational parameters that might not normally be available through dashboard functions. It will not allow you to modify. To make things worse, to access advanced diagnostic features on a modern car you will need to have proprietary software and/or dealer keys.
To further educate yourself, look into work done by Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek.
OBD II, while universally adopted, is poorly supported by manufacturers. It will still allow access to some basic information, will let you read error codes, but as far as modifying anything you will need to get always-proprietary software. Even with that you will be hard-pressed to redesign how something works, at best you will be able to toggle some values. Adding new functionality - good luck with that.
Modern cars use proprietary designs and even smallest modification would require you to re-flash software. While it is possible, and there are 'dealer' keys out there, modern cars are overly complex.
Your best bet is to get something classic and not too rare.
If timothy wanted to properly generate outrage on/., then Barbie would have said "I love systemd" when you pull her string, and article would be authored by Bennett.
Wait, but what about STARVING AFRICAN CHILDREN, why worry about privileged white women in first-world countries when CHILDREN ARE STARVING?!?! What kind of monster are you?! I expect you to dedicate all your attention to issues that I care about! NOW!
The amount of social justice news and outrage click bait that get posted here makes me think about drastic re-definition of "staff that matters". I hope/. editors understand their demographics and understand that "X is dead" style of articles in the going to provide positive reaction from the readership.
Male stereotypes and gender roles (e.g. machismo, not showing emotions) are equally harmful and problematic. Unfortunately, you will not see any effort from SJW to even acknowledge these exists.
As much as I personally prefer "walk over and talk", this becomes a lot less feasible with remote workforce. Typical development team these days is international and/or no longer tied to cubicles. Sure, there are still hell-holes that insist you sit in a box 9 to 5 (or more), but most allow telecommute. I think turning point was 08-09, when talented folks got tied to upsidedown mortgages and were no longer able to move to take the job.

It is already in the orbit, we should start constructing Dyson sphere already.
More expensive energy leads to lower quality of life. This is all-around unpopular solution.

Regretfully, so.
Carter was an engineer, he should have known better.

Only I wouldn't buy a new one, since they seem to have severe ring problems and a lot end up burning oil while still new.

Or devote some of their life to reading technical news on a technical news site. Glad we agree.

Here we go again. Timothy, are you angling for a gig at Jezebel?

Next, you will realize why cable TV shows are getting dumber and commercials more obnoxious.
Next trick - Earth disappearing into a black hole at the bottom of the magician's hat.
Maybe we shouldn't ask AI things like these?
Yes, and everything that happens is fault of patriarchy. It must be nice to have a worldview where everything is so clear-case and explainable.
Don't you see that "males are at fault for male stereotypes" is a clear-case of victim blaming?
>>>It would be disingenuous to suggest that sexism does not primarily impact women negatively.
How about we do some substitution.
It would be disingenuous to suggest that graft does not primarily impact women negatively.
Do you see the problem with your statement? Yes, of course it impacts women negatively, but suggesting that it only impacts women is disingenuous.

In most fields, trying to do business networking through Facebook is a career-ending move. The brand is forever poisoned.
